Not leaving--Singer Christine McVie is not quitting Fleetwood Mac as reported in Thursday’s Calendar. According to the band’s publicist, Mitchell Schneider, McVie intends to continue recording with Fleetwood Mac, but plans to stop touring with the group at the end of its current tour.
Nicks, a Mac member since 1975, and McVie, who joined the band four years earlier, are exiting the group to pursue solo careers. Drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie, the founding members, will continue playing with guitarists Billy Burnette and Rick Vito. No replacements for the singers have been announced.
The separation, which was first discussed only two weeks ago, will be an amicable one, according to Fleetwood Mac’s publicist Mitchell Schneider.
“The band had a series of very heartfelt conversations regarding the split-up,” Schneider said. “Everybody is working together.”
